romney's foreign policy address was titled "the mantle of leadership." he tried to cast president obama as weak, saying in the middle east, the risk of conflict in the region is higher now than when the president took office. what's your assessment of that claim? >> i think the president's record speaks for itself. this is a president who has been very -- very good at doing what he actually says. he said he would refocus the fight on al qaeda, he's done that. he said he would chart a transition course in afghanistan to bring our troops home in 2014, and he's done that. so i think when you think about what this speech needed to do for mitt romney, it needed to do two things. one is to be clear that he articulates some kind of vision, indicate he has some kind of come pass on these issues. and secondly, to clarify if he has differences with the president, exactly what would he do differently as commander in chief. and i don't think he passed the test on either count. >> specifically, you mention the issue of iraq. one of the things that i wonder a lot abou
